Puppet version 2.7 or 3?

[vioilly]

Hi,

I am just rolling out a new puppet deployment. Which version should i go for, 2.7 or 3.1? I am looking to use the open source version.

Many thanks,
Oli

If you plan on using an ENC, specifically TheForeman, or a lot of modules from the Puppet Forge, you might want to start with 2.7

That being said, Foreman is very close to having Puppet 3 support working, and more and more modules on the Forge are being made 3.0 compatible every day.

Puppet 2.7 is currently on 2.7.19 with 2.7.20 in RCs, and Puppet 3 is at 3.0.1, so it is still a little rough around the edges, but the fact that hiera is integrated and it has the databindings is one very nice feature of 3.0.x. It's also considerably faster.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both, and I am sure others will weigh in as well, but hope this helps.
 

Many thanks,
Oli

For the record, Puppet 3 support was added to foreman a couple of days ago.

Hi Ohad,

do you know when the puppet 3 support will be available in the test RPMs? I've updated to the current test RPMs yesterday but still had to patch some files in foreman and foreman-proxy to get it working with Puppet 3.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to give 3.0.1 a go. That fact about the performance improvement is the killer. Worth a few rough edges.

You would need the nightly rpms, hopefully we'll get a RC soon.

Err, the puppet 3 support has not yet landed in the nightly RPMs. I just
tried.

That I didn't notice, is that those are from 2012-10-22, which is not
quite nightly. Seems like the repo at
http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/el6/x86_64/?C=M;O=D has stopped updating?

Sorry about that, jmontleon fixed that.
